ICU internships or training programs?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hi,

I'm still a student working on a ASN but my career goal is to eventually be a CRNA. I'm interested in knowing which hospitals offer EXCELLENT ICU internships or training programs. It would seem to me that larger teaching hospitals would offer better ICU internships. It really doesn't matter in what area of the country. I live in Dallas now and have thought about Philly when I graduate but located in open since I'm single, no kids, and really don't have any family. Oh and a program that has loan forgiveness would be nice too...if anyone knows of any.

Thanks!

The University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center has a Nurse Residency program that lasts one year. It was new in May of 2002 and at that time there were only 4 hospitals in the country participating. I have no idea how many there are now, but I do know participating hospitals must be teaching institutions with affiliated schools of nursing.
